A SPECIAL EVENT IS COMING TO CARTECAY CUTLERY!
Remember the wolf on display at Cartecay Cutlery? Now you can meet the people who trapped her!
On November 21st, Brian Camp and Aprile Lee will be coming from Montana to join us at Cartecay Cutlery in Ellijay for a special 90-minute knife discussion and an opportunity to hear some incredible stories.
Brian and Aprile worked together on the trap line, including the trapping of the wolf you see on display in our store. They'll have stories and experiences to share from their time in the field that you won't hear just anywhere!
And there's another fascinating part to Brian's story: Tom Oar has personally asked Brian to write his authorized biography! Brian will be taking on the task of documenting the life and experiences of one of America's most recognizable mountain men.
But we're not stopping there!
We'll also bring together people who understand knives from different perspectives:
• Eli — the knife designer�• James — the knife maker�• Brian Camp and Aprile Lee — experienced outdoorspeople who put knives to work in the field
Join us for a unique opportunity to talk knives, hear firsthand stories from the trap line, and meet the people behind some remarkable experiences.

😂 Y’all cleaned us OUT of our Tom Oar knives and sheaths! We just ordered FOUR MORE, and we’ve already sold one before they even got here!

At this rate, I’m gonna have to quit selling Tom Oar knives and sheaths and start taking reservations like a dang steakhouse! 🤣🔪

Stay Sharp, y’all! 🤠

We need to have a talk.
We started out selling knives.
Then somebody decided we needed boots.
Then came the leather.
Then the cowboy hats showed up.
And now… we are selling perfume and cologne.
At this rate, we're not sure if we're still a knife store or if we've accidentally opened a cowboy department store.
But since we're already committed to this whole “western” thing, we went all in with Tru Western Fragrances.
We've got Yellowstone Ride, Añejo, Rodeo Soul Fearless, Leather No. 2 Small Batch, Leather No. 5 Canyon Echoes, Rodeo Soul Harmony, Wrangler 1947 for Him and Her, and Yellowstone Tornado.
Come in and give them a try.
You can smell the fragrances, check out the boots, look through the leather goods, try on a cowboy hat, and, just in case you came in here for the reason we originally opened the place…
We've still got plenty of knives.
Honestly, we're starting to think the only thing we're missing is a hitching post out front.
Come see what we've gotten ourselves into.
